free unlock code calculator for Huawei modems on the web
 

Hello world,

Just found this interesting site, which provides free unlock code calculation for Huawei modems:
Online Huawei Modem Unlock Calculator

Inquisitor

You beat me to it by one day. See also http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/mobi...html#post31466 for a downloadable calculator and a real English description of how to do an unlock.

It works fine on my E1550.

...for stupid beginners in this sector: where can i find the huawai mobile partner software for the vodafone branded k3565 sticks? They dont appaear in the list of downloads on the huawai website...

The K3565, which in fact is a Huawei E160X, is unlocked (at least if bought in Germany). However the dashboard software in the flashmemory of the K3565, "Vodafone Mobile Connect", won't establish data sessions with third party SIM cards. So there is no lock in the device itself, but the dashboard software is restricted. Now what you need to do is simply running a dashboard update which will replace that Vodafone software by Mobile Partner. You'll find download links at Huawei E160 (E160G, E160E, E160X, K3565) - 3G modem wiki (try the official update from 27-May-2009 and if that fails try the inofficial version - the last time I tried it only the inofficial version worked).

cool, thanks for the info. I will try when i get a hand on that modem the next time....

Many thanks for the info!
I've managed to unlock E160 (initially locked for Play, Poland) and E870 (Orange, Poland), both without any problems.

Okay stupid question. How do I use the calculator and can I unlock E160E with it? What else do I need?

Jervin - go to Online Huawei Modem Unlock Calculator, enter IMEI number of your USB stick (you will find this at the back of it), enter the security code (re-type the number shown on the website) and press Calculator. You should get a set of numbers in red colour, from which you need Unlock.
Once you have done this you need to place a sim card that comes from another provider into your E160 USB stick. Now depending on your software you either will be asked for an unlock code (which is the above mentioned Unlock) just after starting your ordinary software that you use for estabilishing a connection to the internet (obviously you need to plug in your USB stick first) or should use an alternative method described on the mentioned website as How to enter code.
I hope this helps.

please help..
